If you have a 3g signal go into setup wizzard and the phone will download the settings it self.

The phone is clever enough to do this, if it doesnt work ring three and ask them to send them over the air this should do it.

If you are not in a 3g area, then using the mms wont always work.

Currenlty 3 use o2 as the back up but this is only for phone and sms, Soon 3 will swap to Orange as the back up and you will be able to use all the functions just not video calling.

The thing is 3 is unlike any other operator, they don't gvie out settings.
I've been on the SE site and it does have a section for downloading settings however 3 is the only network missing from it

Also the reason why I need the settings is because I removed the 3 firmware with an original SE one which won't get the 3mms settings automatically ..

So ... still needing help ..

Thanks for responding though , greatly apprciated

Sorry for being of topic but what so you think of 3? I am stuck between getting this phone on Orange or 3, I think I can get both 3G signals in my area but of course it's free to browse 3 but costs you to browse Orange's portal.

I am also experiencing the same problems. I too got rid of the 3 branding and replaced with an original SE one. Makes the phone work alot better and you don't end up accidentally opening up some 3 advert or connecting to their site every 5 seconds cos of all the links they spread about in the menus.
Anyway, after manually entering in these same settings I found off the internet the only thing, that I have found so far not working, is sending MMS. I haven't tried video calling yet.
I heard about 3 not wanting to give out the settings over the air etc so I tried putting in a free pay as you go sim card and calling them saying I wanted to use that phone to give as a present and was testing it, but mms wasn't working, can you please text me the settings. The guy said the k800 wasn't 3g enabled ( HELLO!!- you gave me it.. but I didnt tell him that lol) and this would be why it isn't working. I argued with him saying they have the phone available to buy on Three. He eventually went through some settings with me and nothing worked ( the things he got me to try were bizarre) then he said you need to buy another phone to put your sim card in, and refused to text me the settings cos he didn't think this was a 3g phone ( I also told him I got it off ebay and gave him a false IMEI code incase they wanted to block it or something). I didn't want to push my bluff too far so I just hung up after that, but maybe someone with better bluffing skills can try the same method to get someone there to text them the settings and post them up somewhere.
If they could it would be a great help. I might try again later and see how far I can get, but I don't want to arouse their suspicions and get my phone blocked.

If someone helps us out here ( I am sure there must be many of us in the same boat) then they are truly worthy of god like status and praise.

Thanks in advance

Interesting development:-
Switched the network settings to recieve 2g (GSM) signal only and tried to send a mms and it worked. got a bit under the text when I was asked to- send? Yes or No - that said 'not on home network, send anyway?', then it went through the same thing- looked like it was trying to send... and it sent. cool eh?now i had been double checking the settings were still all the same as they were supposed to be just before I tried that, so whether I did something there to make it work I am not sure, but either way I now have a way to send mms.

While I was writing this I just thought to try and re connect to the 3g network signal and tried to send a mms and it just worked, so everyone else having this problem, just keep trying playing around with those settings, and reconfiguring them around and back again, and try switching to 2g signal and sending then back again.

I now have a fully working, unbranded k800 WOOHOO
(tested video calling and is working too)

Thanks


PS-
the options on this phone seem to vary from other SE phones that those settings work on, so I am not sure exactly what I was doing before, or doing now to make it work, but just keep trying those different combinations with those settings - here's what I got:

make the Three gprs(or three wap or whatever name you call it) internet profile like what is described before- with homepage of http://mobile.three.co.uk/hb/K800i/HutchKey - with the name of 3 Services
than make the 3 MMs as an internet profile also

use proxy:yes

proxy address: mms.three.co.uk

port number 8799

no username or password

This homepage is http://mms.um.three.co.uk:10021/mmsc - with the name MMS

Then you need to make a 'Data Account' under connectivity then Data Communication, called 3 MMS with APN three.co.uk and IP address of 217.171.129.2 - I have the same numbers in DNS address, not sure if that is required, but it works. The things i have ticked in there for Authentications are 'None' 'PAP' and 'CHAP' I think everything else is unchanged form the normal.
For the wap you also need to create an account with same name as the wap setting, in my case '3 GPRS'
APN: three.co.uk
allow calls: automatic
everything else normal
THAN under messages and then settings, then picture message:-
change mms profile and select 3 MMS
( I think i might have had to create this myself the first time I tried to create a MMS it gave me the option to create this if I remember correctly)
the options in here are:-You can edit the profile name ( 3 MMS)
Message server: http://mms.um.three.co.uk@10021/mmsc

Internet profile: Select the internet profile 'Three MMS' here


and that as they say seems to be that

Thanks- Had looked on about 7 or 8 forums, and found people having same problem as me, then posted myself on this and a couple of others. So- as I finally got it to work, I thought the least I could do was post what i did.

MODS-

Howz about getting all these settings for different phones stickied somewhere?
and we can get them altered when certain phones have different options to other phones, as in this case

so we'd have stickied the basic settings, or a forunm heading with them in, then a subsection with the various things different phones need to go with their different options that they have?

Hi Can someone please help me with these settings.

I debranded last night and I can't get the settings to work. I can send MMS's ok but I can't browse my three page.

When following the settings above, I have no option to make internet access: HTTP, and for WAP: no WAP option.

It actually seems more hassle than it's worth! ;(


Oh, and even though I've debranded I still get a '3' on my front screen where it should say 'Sony Ericsson'. Anyone any idea why? Is this a SIM card thing?

Cheers



EDIT: Ok, I deleted everything I did before and now I can access net and MMS so everything is ok! ;o) I would still like to know why I have a '3' on my main screen instead of Sony Ericsson though.
